clarence house nursery glasgow
We are open Monday to Friday from 8am until 6pm all year round and closed on
bank holidays and the period between christmas and new year Clarence House
Nursery, set in the leafy West End of Glasgow, has indoor and outdoor
facilities. Shirley Hexley, the nursery owner, has been providing wraparound
childcare since 1998 for 0-5 year olds. Clarence House has an excellent
reputation for having a calm and nurturing environment that encourages children
to be independent, develop social skills and explore new experiences. Staff are
committed to understanding the individual needs of each child and work closely
with parents to consolidate learning and help each child reach their full
potential. Clarence House is a small nursery and recent comments from parents
have included “higglety pigglety” and “quirky”. Most visitors comment on the
nice feeling they get when they come in. Because of the small size of the
nursery it feels homely and welcoming. Children are not regulary moved about
from room to room and this allows relationships to develop into meaningful and
positive friendships that can last through to school. And in the words of one of
the children “we are a happy nursery”. Some of our strengths are : Our highly
qualified and experienced staff follow Pre-Birth to Three and the Curriculum for
Excellence which provides a framework for learning and supports all children
well as they make the transition into school. We offer a broad range of indoor
and outdoor activities with a focus on Health and Wellbeing, Literacy and
Numeracy. There are also opportunities for children to explore areas such as
Science and Technology, Expressive Arts and Social Studies. A daily exercise
programme which establishes an introduction to the importance of health and
wellbeing. Fees include a hot cooked meal at lunchtime, snacks, drinks, external
specialists, events and outings. Partnership with Glasgow City Council offers
funding for all 3-5 year old who live within Glasgow City Council. If you are
looking for a safe, loving environment and something a little different to
stimulate your child’s imagination visit Shirley and her team…….and the children
at Clarence House.
